How to Setup Custom Domain on Blogger with BlueHost

We have already discussed how to set up a custom domain on Blogger with GoDaddy and HostGator. Now, I will explain how to set up a custom domain on your Blogger blog using BlueHost. If you have a domain from BlueHost, you can add that domain name to your Blogger blog. Once you have added the BlueHost domain to your Blogger settings, your Blogger blog will redirect to your BlueHost domain name. Setting up a custom domain on Blogger with BlueHost is a straightforward process.

Follow below steps to setup a custom domain on your Blogger with BlueHost:

Step 1 : Go your Blogger dashboard and click on Basics

Step 2 : Click on "Set up a third-party URL for your blog".
              Add your BlueHost domain name and click on the "Save" button.
              After adding the domain name, you will receive two CNAME records.

Step 3 : Now you need to add those CNAME records to your domain name.
               Login to your BlueHost cPanel and click on "DNS Zone Editor" under the "Domains" section.
               Select the domain name to which you want to add the CNAME records.
               Choose "CNAME" from the drop-down menu and enter the required details.

Step 4 : Next add below four A records

              216.239.32.21
              216.239.34.21
              216.239.36.21
              216.239.38.21

Step 5 : Now, go to your Blogger Dashboard and enter the domain name with "www." prefix. Select the "Redirection" option and click on "Save".

That's it! You have successfully set up a custom domain on your Blogger blog with BlueHost. If you want to create a self-hosted blog on BlueHost, you will need to purchase a hosting package from BlueHost. Alternatively, you can use Blogger to create a free blog and set a custom domain.
